Roin

The Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology and Bioethics at Harvard Law School is pleased to announce that both of the academic fellows the Center had on the academic job market this year, I. Glenn Cohen and Benjamin Roin, have received and accepted offers to join the Harvard Law School faculty as assistant professors.  Faculty Director Einer Elhauge remarked, “Glenn and Ben will, I think, prove to be the leading law professors of the next generation in bioethics and biotechnology, two of the Center’s three major subfields.  I couldn’t be happier with how they developed as scholars during their stints as academic fellows.  I am even more thrilled to have both of them join the faculty and the Center to help guide future academic and student fellows in achieving the Center’s goal of producing health law scholarship that is rigorous, original, intellectually interesting, and socially useful.”
